Sika Advanced Resins PRODUCT GROUPS
COMPOSITE AND LAMINATING SYSTEMS
Together they are strong
• High Performance Composite Systems• Gelcoats• Laminating Systems
Composite resins are specially designed for the production of high performance composites also giving good wetting of difficult fibre materials, variable viscosity for different production processes and application temperature ranges up to 225 °C.
Excellent processing and good resistance to external influences are the deciding features of gelcoats.
Our laminating and multipurpose resins can be used in different stages of manufacture in the construction of models, negatives, moulds and tools and result in high-grade laminates with excellent strength.
BLOCK MATERIALS AND MODEL PASTES
CNC milling 3D models and moulds
• Design and Styling Boards • Model and Tooling Boards• Model and Mould Making Pastes• Mass-Casting
Specially formulated machinable boards with associated adhesives and putty fillers can be used for the construction of design/master models as well as for various manufacturing moulds and tools.
Extrudable pastes and mass-casting systems are tailor-made products for making joint-free, near net shapes in styling design, cubing models and diverse moulds in high quality.
These materials provide since decades beneficial alternative solutions technically and/or economically versus traditional methods using wood or metal.
VACUUM CASTING RESINS AND RIM-SYSTEMS
Complicated mouldings quickly made
• Vacuum Casting Systems• Low Pressure RIM-Systems
For rapid production our vacuum casting systems based on polyurethane are suitable. They are simulating the majority of characteristics of thermoplastic series materials without limits in shapes intricacy.
The same applies for the low pressure RIM-systems, which are processed with the help of 2-component-mixing and metering machines. Our RIM products can be used for small and large volume parts and are suitable for high-class prototypes as well as short runs and serial production.
ELASTOMERIC CASTING RESINS
Flexible also with regard to possible applications
• Elastomeric Casting Resins for Mould Making
• Elastomeric Casting Resins for Foundry Pattern Making
• Elastomeric Casting Resins for Ceramics
• Elastomeric Casting Resins for Concrete Moulds and Building Tools
The range of elastomeric PUR-casting resins includes high-quality synthetic resin systems with a variety of shore hardness levels (Shore A 40 – D 66) and possible applications.
The soft elastic types are used for making flexible moulds and mouldings.
The tough elastic and tough hard types are suitable for impact resistant parts and abrasion resistant liners in foundry pattern making and special mechanical engineering.
EP AND PUR CASTING SYSTEMS
Everything made in one casting
• Fastcast Resins• EP Casting Resins• PUR Casting Resins
The large range of tooling resins can be used in many different ways. They are suitable for the quick and inexpensive manufacture of production equipment such as foam-, RIM- and vacuumforming moulds or foundry patterns and metal sheet forming tools.
There are also suitable casting resins for making auxiliary items such as master and core models or negatives.
Some fastcast resins are particularly dedicated to make scale models production, mock ups and prototypes.
The system selected depends on the casting procedure in question, e.g. mass casting, backfill or facecasting.

MODEL AND MOULD MAKING PASTES MASS CASTING PRODUCTS
MODEL & MOULD MAKING PASTES
Large size models and tools are made with extrudable PUR and epoxy pastes providing a workable surface applied onto a stable core substructure. This technique is widely used to make plugs for boats or wind blades as well as automotive or architectural designs. This technology is beneficial versus boards as offering lighter models with a smooth and seamless surface (joint-free unlike boards).The PUR base allows for standard performance the fast-making of models without any post-curing.The epoxy range provides higher dimensional stability and heat resistance for models or direct tooling applications in composite parts making.

PUR CASTING RESINS
F160-1 with additional fillers for casting of models with thicker sections
FILLED FASTCAST RESINS
Filled fastcast resins are especially suitable for making e.g. master, core models, negatives and patterns with large dimensions and are characterized by low shrinkage.
UNFILLED FASTCAST RESINS
The unfilled fastcast resins are usually used for making detailed models and mouldings with thin walls due to their excellent flowability. They can, however, be cast in thicker layers by adding filling materials to them.
PUR Casting systems with long potlife
Biresin® G46• Prefilled casting resin can be cast in thick sections
(e.g. backfilling)• Results in durable core models with high dimensional accuracy

Biresin® U1419:• The low shore hardness of around A 97 offers highest
abrasion resistance of core boxes also opposite the shooting nozzles due to the high rebound elasticity
• Biresin® U1419 with 6–7 min potlife for small core boxes and short demoulding time
Biresin® U1320 NT: • Proven market leader of nontoxic foundry resins for series
core boxes• Standard hardener Biresin® U1320 L (B) works also for big

ADHESIVES AND PUTTY FILLER SYSTEMS ADHESIVES AND PUTTY FILLER SYSTEMS
ADHESIVE AND PUTTY FILLER SYSTEMS FOR BOARDS AND PASTES
The adhesive and putty filler systems are specially adapted to Sika Advanced Resins boards. This relates to colour and mechanical-physical properties. This results in a similiar behaviour regarding machinability and subsequent use in application.
ADHESIVES
In the development of adhesives, special attention is paid to achieving a sufficiently high degree of adhesive strength and rapid curing.
Easymax perfect match repair putty to medium density boards
having the same PUR chemistry with quick setting and odour-less

ADDITIVES
Additives are added to liquid systems in order to reach a specific thixotropy, thinning, acceleration or colouring of products.
SURFACE PRE-TREATMENT
High-grade release agents, cleaners and activators provide an optimal surface pre-treatment.

FILLING MATERIALS
These materials in powder and granulate form can modifiy different properties of laminating and casting resins:• lower shrinkage and exothermic temperature and higher
casting thickness• higher compressive strength or thermal conductivity• reducing of material costsMostly the chart shows systems from both previous sources (Sika and Axson) which are reasonably comparable. Before change we recommend tests.
